@user1471530109 they have screens to divide up the benches since COVID.

And you can pay on an app. But even before that I don't ever remember them taking my card away. It must have just been the branch you used.

Teriyaki chicken donburi is my favourite. Love Wagamama!

It's not a Japanese restaurant, they do all kinds of things.

Love the chilli squid . Look at the menu and see what appeals its very well laid out with spice levels .. I often try new stuff. I like this style of food and if we are dishing chains then this is one of the better food wise .

You have made me want to order for lunch (and I have sushi to eat Grin)

Muma1992 · 24/08/2021 11:38

Thank you everyone. I feel a lot less nervous now. I think I might have a ramen or the katsu curry. Eek!

My go to starter is the fried duck gyozas which are like little dumplings, not spicy at all but really tasty!

For main I usually get a ramen, which is noodles in broth. The chicken one is a good choice if you’ve never had it before but the pork belly one is my current favourite and comes with a soft boiled egg (it says tea stained egg on the menu but it doesn’t taste any different to me).

I don't think any of it is particularly spicy.
The ramen bowls are great but can be a faff/messy to eat.
So for first time stick to a noodle or rice dish.
I love the yasi yaki soba or ginger chicken udon.

.. katsu curry is my favorite !

except for when I use my fitness pal! - it has 1149 calories !

just don't eat all day !

piefacedClique · 24/08/2021 14:46

I LOVE duck donburi! It’s crispy duck but with rice And veg and veg abd a fried egg on top! You mix it all together and crack on! Delicious!

Bagelsandbrie · 24/08/2021 14:51

Absolutely LOVE it.

Yaki soba with chicken and prawn isn’t spicy. That’s my fave. With edamame beans to start with.. !

2RedShoes · 24/08/2021 14:57

I am not sure what they are called but I love the octopus balls with a sort of spicy mayo. Even my DS1 who has ASD and a VERY simple palate loves them.

Hardly ever go to Wagamama. Love it when we do.

TomAllenWife · 24/08/2021 15:00

It is my favourite meal out, we all love it in our family.

Kids & adult dd like the chicken katsu curry or the yasai katsu curry (vegetarian)

I love the donburi bowls, pad Thai, yaki soba (don't like udon big thick noodles)
Firecracker chicken is lovely but VERY HOT

On the side we all love:
Edemame beans in chilli salt
Chilli squid
Ebi katsu
Bang bang cauliflower

Enjoy

GuyFawkesDay · 24/08/2021 15:03

Gyoza and pad Thai for me. I ask for chicken and tofu rather than prawns. Yum.

Not spicy, my kids eat both happily.

thanksforyourcommentrandomman · 24/08/2021 15:09

Also love a Yaki Udon - thick noodles, chicken, prawns, loads of veggies, not too saucy and just a hint of spice. Yum. Love their ribs too and the gyoza

piefacedClique · 24/08/2021 17:50

Ebi katsu
Duck gyoza
Duck donburi

They’ve just announced one is being opened in my city. Excited doesn’t come close!

KeyboardWorriers · 24/08/2021 17:53

Vegetable katsu or chicken katsu are my favourites

Love the octopus ball things or bang bang cauliflower.

ItsSunnyOutside · 24/08/2021 18:04

I love Wagamamas! Not been for a while but this thread has made me want to go, pronto!

I really enjoy the Chicken Gyozas for starters, or the mushroom hirata sticky buns.

For mains, I love the chicken raisukaree, its a lovely creamy, lemony coconut thai curry type dish.
I really recommend the teriyaki chicken donburi too, the sticky rice and the tender chicken with the fried egg...delicious!
The yaki soba is very good too.
I don't recall any of the above dishes being very spicy.

HermioneKipper · 24/08/2021 18:08

Oh love a wagas! Veggie gyoza and tofu Yaki soba for me!

NoNotYou · 24/08/2021 18:20

@Muma1992 Id love to help, but I can't remember my number!!

imnotsure1 · 24/08/2021 18:32

We go a lot because my young DC love it. I'd go Katsu or ramen with gyozos. The chilli squid is very good but not sure how you'd find the spice - to me it isn't very spicy.

WrinklesShminkles · 24/08/2021 18:44

If you want a dessert the banana katsu is delicious.

thinkfast · 01/09/2021 19:19

@Muma1992 because DH likes it and persuaded me the previous episode was a one off. We rarely go now though as he accepts it disagrees with me. I love genguine Asian food and even chains like PHO but just not Wagamama's

Mardycustard123 · 01/09/2021 19:23

Cod Soba...mmmmmmmm Smile
